The Viridian Wildwood
(Redirected from Azmeri Wanderer)
"Affliction" redirects here. For the expansion, see Path of Exile: Affliction. For the skill, see Affliction (skill).
The Viridian Wildwood is an area containing an affliction encounter that can be found in map during Affliction league.
Access
The entrance to the Wildwood in any act or map area is marked by a ring of white Sacred Wisps. Players can explore through the Wildwood until the Sacred Wisps burn out after a set distance of travel. This encounter does not have a timer. Each new instance generates a new Wildwood area, with random layouts and encounters. As the Wildwood shares the instance with the main area, it is affected by map modifiers, including pack size and item quantity.
Once you leave the Viridian Wildwood, all currently collected wisps are released to the main zone and you cannot re-enter the Wildwood. You can open portals inside the Wildwood, but dying or leaving will despawn any portals inside the Wildwood, preventing re-entry.
Wisps
Wisps are a type of non-itemised resource that can be collected while exploring the Wildwood. Wisps do not scale with item quantity from equipment or area modifiers. After exiting the Wildwood area, wisps disperse across the rest of the zone, affecting and enhancing random monsters in a manner somewhat similar to Sentinel's empowerment. Wisps come in three varieties: Primal, Wild, and Vivid. Each type is used for different Affliction vendors, and provides different benefits when affecting monsters:
Vivid WispsVivid WispsStack Size: 50000
grant a more item quantity bonus. Empowered monsters take reduced damage and gain increased attack, cast, and movement speed.
Wild WispsWild WispsStack Size: 50000

. Empowered monsters take reduced damage and gain more critical strike chance and additional critical strike multiplier.
The quantity of Wisps possessed upon exiting the Wildwood will determine the number of monsters affected as well as the magnitude of the empowerment provided. Multiple types of wisps can affect the same monster, stacking their bonuses.
Wisps can also affect monsters that have not been spawned yet such as Breach monsters, even when they are not on the map after completing the Affliction encounter. Some monsters in the Wildwood can also spawn already affected by Wisps.
The fourth type of wisp, Sacred Wisps, are used exclusively to burn away the darkness in the Wildwood and does not have any other effects. Two types of special Sacred Wisp clusters can be found in the Wildwood; a larger pulsating orb that reveals an area around it, or a smaller dim orb that extends the distance the player can explore in the Wildwood.

The Affliction
The Wildwood is covered in a darkness called the "affliction". Enemies in the darkness cannot be damaged or damage you. Sacred Wisps burn the affliction away for a fixed distance of travel, creating a traversable path and unlocking smaller sub-areas containing various encounters. Enemies inside the affliction are despawned when the encounter ends and the portal to the exit appears. Traveling too deep into the affliction without Sacred Wisps will cause the player to gain a cosmetic debuff that kicks players out of the Wildwood at 10 stacks.
Layout
The Wildwood's actual layout is roughly in the shape of a diamond. In each Wildwood, there are four "events" (anything that causes the affliction to get cleared in a large circle), with one placed in the north, west, east, and south region of the layout. You will spawn anywhere in the Wildwood not too close to an event. If you can find two events, it should give you a better idea of where in the Wildwood you are and help you locate the center and then find the other two events.[1]
